Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Liver cancer is one of the most common cancers and is the leading cause of death worldwide. Since there are no subjective symptoms in the early stages, it is generally at quite an advanced stage when it is discovered. Chronic liver damage often sets the stage for the oncogenic transformation of liver cells, giving rise to liver cancer. Risk factors for this transformation include excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, and hepatitis B and C viral infections, all of which can cause mutations in healthy DNA. These mutations can result in the deregulation of genes involved in controlling cell growth, cell death, and cell differentiation, thereby contributing to liver carcinogenesis. In this Special Issue, we will try to provide information which will be beneficial for non-specialist scientists to medical doctors in the field of liver cancer research. We will mainly consider, but are not limited to, the topics listed below.
Dr. Hiroaki Taniguchi
Guest Editor
